k \ . - „ 'lsl,4.4t.' s' \ , I ) ' -4r x , MURD' OF COLONEL HANMER' GAMEKEEPER. On Tuesday morning last, about ten o'cloct, the neigh bourhood of Leighton Buzzard, Beds, and Great Brickhill, Bucks, was thrown into a considerable state of alarm by the information that James Gillrow had been found dead on the south side of Bragenham Warren, and the whole of his fea tures were so completely disfigured that his most intimate friends recognised him with difficulty. He had not been home during Monday night, and his wife went up on Tuesday morning to Stockgrove House, the residence of Col. Han mer, M.P., and an immediate search was set on foot. A small piece of the stock of a gun, with a guard and percus sion lock, was picked up by John Adams about seven or eight yards from the body, and were immediately recognised as belonging to a gun which a man named Thomas Bates, of Heath and Reach, had in his possession the previous night. This led to an immediate apprehension of Bates. An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday, at the Boot public house, at Soulbury, Bucks, when the prisoner, Bates, made the following statement :—" When I left Rushmore Pond I went through the warren into Mr. Chew's wheat stubble field. I sat by the gate a little while, thinking to see a rabbit. I saw a cock pheasant coming towards the hedge. I waited till it got near enough, and I then shot at it. I thought I hit it, but it flew into the warren. I then went into Six Acres, under the hedges At that instant I saw Gillrow run ning towards me, as fast as he could, and I popped through the hedge into the warren, and squatted in the ditch. Gill row passed me ; he went into Mortimer's field, and soon came' back again. When he saw me in the ditch, he said, I've got you at last ; I have been looking for you a long time, and now have got you.' I said it was the first time, and hoped he would forgive me. He said no, he would not ;he told me to come out of the ditch. I said I would not, but I soon got out of the ditch, and we walked up by the side of the freeboard, and I again asked him to forgive me several times, but he said no. I then raised my gun, and knocked him down with the butt end. He said, Oh, dear,' and I kept hitting, him. I then left him, and went home, and got to bed about half-past eight. I got up early next morning, and went to look for the piece of gun. The moon shone bright, but I could not find it. I was there an hour, and then left, for fear somebody might see me, as it was getting light, and went to work on the rail way, where I was taken.' The prisoner afterwards told the constable where the other part of the gun was, and the pieces of gun were produced, having been found in a pond described by the prisoner. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Thomas Bates, and he was com mitted accordingly for trial.—Northampton Mercury. Letters received this morning from Hamburg, of the date of Friday last, the 2d, mention that the General Steam Navigation Company's splendid new ship, Ocean, had arrived that day with the mail of the 31st, after a very rapid pas sage. The Ocean made the voyage to Cuxhaven in forty hours, and would have arrived at Hamburg within forty-five hours had she not been detained by a thick fog. The General Steam Na vigation Company's steam ship Britannia, arrived at Hamburg at the same time with the Ocean. MUNICH, AUG. 24.—Her Majesty the Queen anti King Otho arrived herb in good health yesterday evening. The whole of the Royal Family are now together. The very pleasing report is spread that the marriage of King Otho with a Princess of Oldenburg will be celebrated here in October. - BERLIN, AUG. 24.—We have the following from Neufchatel:—" Stromeyer, formerly editor of the Friend of liberty, has been conveyed under an escort of Gendarmes through Neufchatel to France. Fifty other fugitives, escorted • in a similar manner, have passed through our canton." STOCKHOLM, AUG. 23.—The tlAy before yester day, being the I . Z.qe of the Princess, and the anniversary both of the choice of the King as successor to the Swedish Throne and of the coronation of Queen, the King gave a dinner to about 100 persons in the Palace of Drottningholm. Though there were no public festivities, the inhabitants of the ,capital went in great numbers to Drottningholm to see the Royal Faintly. IMPROVEMENTS IN •THE PARKS.—Yesterday • morning the Commissioners of Woods and Forests engaged a number of workmen to cleanse and entirely drain the Serpen tine River, for the purpose of discovering and afterwards fillip , * tip the numerous dangerous holes in its bed, which have proved r fatal to so many inexperienced bathers. The workmen have enmmenecd erecting a dam entirety across the river on the eastern side of the new bridge, at Kensington-gardens. The works are under the superintendence of Mr. Hoff, of Ham mersmith. The improvements have also commenced in Hyde park, on a most extensive scale. The handsome new brick lodge is completed for Mr. Humbry, the principal keeper of the park, and is situated only a few yards from the old one, which is to be immediately pulled down. By the command of the Duke of Sussex (as Ranger of the Park), there is to be a superb grand carriage and foot entrance into the park from the Uxbridge-road in front of Hyde-park-place; the whole of the remaining and unsighty brick wall, extending to Bayswater, is to be immediately taken down, and light iron railings are to substituted. All the hollows in the Deer Park will be filled up and levelled, and the two beautiful springs have already . been cleared out, and properly paled in. Gravel-walks arc to be made in various parts of the- park, communicating to the bridge over the Serpentine. These, with the young planta tions, which it is in contemplation to make in various parts of the park, will present a great improvement. Four handsome lodges for the keepers, belonging to the interior of St. James's Park, arc to be immediately built. FIRES ABROAD.--The lifercure Beige says— " We announced yesterday the terrible fire which destroyed the Lonisherg, 'near Aix-la-Chapelle; wo learn to-day that a much greater devastation has visited the Rhenish provinces ; -the magnificent chateau of the Duke of Armberg, situated above Dusseldorf, has been entirely destroyed by the flames. There remains only the ruins of that princely mansion. We are informed that the misfortune is owing to the carlessness of a workman, who left fire on the roof." The celebrated naturalist, M. Geoffroy St. Hilaire, accompanied by Dr. Martin St. Ange, has left Paris for London. A suspension bridge, on a large scale, of French manufacture, has been just put up at Rouen. The Prefet of the Department and all the principal inhabitants were present at the ceremony. SILK WORMS.—It is calculated that 127 millions of silk worms must have toiled through their short lives to produce the quantity of silk contained in the new Vauxhall balloon. THE LATE Duc DE GRAMONT.—Amongst the ancient Noblesse of France there was not one more justly esteemed nor more deservedly regretted than the late Due de Gramont. His attachment to the family of the Bourbons was as warm, as unalterable, and was ever displayed in the most disinterested zeal in their interests rather than in forwarding his own, which were more frequently sacrificed for than re warded by them. The present Due de Gramont, long and advantaecously known in England, is a most worthy successor to the honours of his father, being remarkable for high charac ter, polished manners, and a kindness of heart, that has won hint the good will of even his political opponents. The Due de Gramont married the only daughter of General Count d'Orsay, and sister of Count Alfred d'Orsay. The Duchesse is considered one of the most beautiful women in France, and is said to strongly resemble her grandmother, the celebrated Princess de Croij, who was one of the richest heiresses in Normandy. The remarkable beauty of the present Duc and Duchesse de Gramont rendered them the most brilliant orna ments of the Courts of Louis XVIII. and Charles X., and both these Monarchs took pleasure in pointing them out the finest sp ec i mens o f ma l e an d f e male beauty the French aristocracy could boast. The late Due de Gramont visited England es Ambassador Extraordinary on the occasion of the Coronation of George IV., and gave some of the most brilliant fetes ever witnesssed in London, in honour of that event. The present Due's sisters are the Countess of Tan kerville and Sebastiani ; the latter is the wife of the Ambas sador from France. THE PRINC E OF CAPUA.—A letter from Avignon, of the 29th August, says that the Prince of Capua met with his brother the King of Naples at the post-house of the Pont Royal, between Avignon and Aix ; that they cordially em braced ; and that the reconciliation is complete. The Prince of Capua had come alone. The King arrived at Toulon on the 28th of August.—French paper. The National announces that a reward is offered for the apprehension of Isruriz and Alcala Galiano. Who ever shall conceal them, or not denounce them, are to be con sidered as guilty of treason against the nation. The Belgian Papers say that the Prussian Govern ment feels very keenly the complaints which have been made in some foreign journals of the Catholics being ill-treated in Prussia, and of their property being appropriated in Prussia. The Prussian Journals deny this and assert that it is noto r i ous to the whole world that in Prussia the Catholics and Protes tants live on the best terms with each other, and that they manifest equal attachment to the Government. MRS. HEMAN'S CHILDHOOD.—As a child, Mrs. Ilemans was an object almost of devotion, for her extrem e beauty ; her complexion was remarkably brilliant ; her hair long, curling, and golden. In the latter ,years of her life its hue deepened into brown, but it remained silken, and pro fuse, and wavy, to the last. She was one of those, too, who may be said to be born and nurtured in the midst of pro phecies. Who can tell bow little or how much impression 'passing words carelessly spoken may make upon one so sensi tive ? One lady incautiously observed in her hearing, " That child is not made for happiness, I know ; her colour comes and goes too fast." She never forgot this remark, and would men lion it as having caused her much pain at the time when it was spoken. SINGULAR INCIDENT.—A few days since a horse at Mayfield, in Sussex, being annoyed with flies, kicked his hind foot into his mouth, in such a manner as to require the aid of a blacksmith ere the limb could be extricated. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-011 the morning of Tuesday last, as Joseph Sopwith, of Brown's-building, near Ckestar:lt f4Hreet, was in the act o f d raw i ng a b o l t f rom a ...teinaag y waggons near to the ma c hi ne at t h e aas ,.ojatig;ain-tliq.4fAthope and Tyne Railway, he was caught by 1 ." - 7/.: 1 1K a tiniril; ( --iileAis body was neatly cut in two. • He died ;The deceased was in the .58th year of his il'al`bitsaia - ft l a . widow and eight children to lament his un- Cii TCnicle. • Fssianding sun-aests die materials of reason ccircer...:the.reusim decides upon the m .

Redshanks was backed thrice at 800 to 110 and Elis two or three times at 7 and 8 to 1 to small amounts, the highest offers against each at the close being 7to 1. Gladiator also had friends at Bto 1, but neither Vulture nor Trapball were in fa vour. Beeswing was backed freely at 16, 15, and lastly, at 14 to 1, and Black Diamond at 25 to Ito 200. Mr. St. Paul's colt, Carew, and the Matilda colt, declined a few points, the two last-mentioned being, in effect, out of the betting.

ROWING MATCH EXTRAORDINARY.-Of all the aquatic ex hibitions ever witnessed, that of yesterday must most decidedly take precedence, not in rowing, but in the fun and frolic it occasioned. It was most decidedly a treat, and one of the first order, at least so the gentlemen of river sports who were out must have thought, as their risible faculties were so much ex cited as to prevent their sculling, and they were not the only persons who enjoyed the display. The shore was literally thronged, and the shouts and laughter re-echoed from one side of the Thames to the other. The match was announced for a purse of sovereigns, with five pairs of oars to contend. As far as the gold was concerned there was no lack of the "needful," as it contained from fifteen to twenty sovereigns, but the rowing and steerage beggars all description. The distance to be contested was to start from Westminster. bridge, round the beacon off the Penitentiary, down to Whitehall, and then re turn to Westminster-bridge. There had been five pairs entered, but the roughness of the weather prevented one pair coming to the station. They started according to the articles of rowing from under the arches. Red and Blue took the lead, but on their arrival opposite Tom Chandler's the crew in the starting galley missed two of the boats, and were of opinion that it must have been a false start, or that the oarsmen had perished. The consternation was extreme, and a man had been dispatched for the drags, when their fears were dissipated. The other two boats were descried making their way to Lambeth Palace, and within half a dozen strokes of the stairs. " What could it mean ? What were they going to do ?" Some thought the oarsmen were ill ; some were of opinion that they needed re freshment ; but the majority were of opinion that they had either gone to pay the Bishop a visit, or wanted to consult Paddy Moulton how they should get round the beacon. It was certain they had some private business at Lambeth, as they were seen no more. At half-past six the two pairs, Red and blue, started for the grand heat.

It would be impossible to describe the many "moving accidents," but we repeat, the admirers of the ludicrous had a very high treat. TORQUAY IZEOATTA.—This affair came off on Monday last and was one of the most splendid that has taken place in Torbay for many years. There were a great number of yachts assem bled of the R. Y. S., R. W. Y. C., and R. C. Y. C., and several others. The day was ushered in with a royal salute from the battery on the Waldon-hill, which was repeated at noon, and the conclusion of the sport. The regatta commenced by the sailing of the Torquay fishing boats for a purse. Then came the Ladies' Cup, which was won by the Sylph, beating four others. They rounded the mark-boat as under :- Ist round. 2d round. Sylph, G. D. Paterson ' Es,q., 16 tons ... 2h 44m Os 4h 23m 40s Gulnarc, H. Hopkins, Esq., 20 tons ... 2h 44m 15s 4h 24m 27s Louisa, Sir H.

This was a most admirably contested race, and great doubt as to who would be the winner was for some time expressed, and the Sylph only won by about three-quarters of a minute. At one o'clock the signal to prepare for the sailing for the Torquay Cup was made, and a most splendid array of yachts took their stations, and one of the most interesting and spirit stirring contests took place. The prize was awarded to the Adelaide, belonging to the R. C. Y C., beating as follows : tons. Ist round. 2d round. Adelade R. Lauder, Esq., 42, 3h 51m Os Oh 10m 35s Lady of the Lake, E.

Weld, Esq., 44, gave in before Ist. round. The Challenge Cup was won by the Alarm, 193 tons, J. Weld, Esq., without a contest. The Four-oared Rowing Match caused much sport. The match was won by a Dartmouth boat, beating the gig belong ing to the Arab yacht, who came in second, and one from Teignmouth. The town was very full of company, and there not being any drinking booths allowed on the Beacon that beautiful spot was crowded with company. The band was stationed there, who played favourite airs during the day. The ball at Batt's Royal Hotel was numerously and fashionably at tended. There was a display of fireworks let off on the pier; and a magnificent fire-balloon, 36 feet in circumference, was let off from the library, which, when at an immense height, discharged three vollies of different coloured stars, which had a novel and imposing effect. The regatta passed off better than on any former occasion. Charles Kemble will open Covent-garden Theatre the first night of the ensuing season, on Monday, the 12th in stant, in his favourite character of Macbeth. Miss Helen Faucit will personate Lady Macbeth. M any o f our most po pular dramas, both traged i es and comedies, will be revived during the season. The united efforts of Kemble, Macready, Miss Faucit, Mrs. Glover, Miss Taylor, Miss Romer, and W. Farren, would seem to strengthen the opinion that the legiti mate drama may again become popular. - - The New English Opera House has recently been attended by overflowing audiences. The Mountain Sylph, with its charming music, continues to be popular. Mr. Wilson and Miss Shirreff are encored every evenin g in two o f t h e i r songs ; and Mr. Leffler, who has succeeded to Mr. Bland's character, has, during the last five nights, agreeably surprised the town by the power and sweetness of his voice. Miss Ellen Tree, at the close of her engagement at the Haymarket, will take her departure for America, where she has been engaged by Mr. Stephen Price to perform at the Park Theatre in New York. The splendid dress worn by this accomplished actress in Mr. Segeant Talfourd's popular tragedy of lon was, we understand, furnished by Miss Tree herself—its good taste will undoubtaely be highly appreciated by the Americans. The loss of Miss Tree to the metropolitan theatres at this particular juncture is irreparable. Yates, the joint-proprietor of the Adelphi Theatre, in communicating to his old friend Jack Reeve that he was most anxious to avail himself of his effective " aid and assist ance at the opening, at the same time inclosed him the manu script of a new drama written by a popular author expressly for Reeve's first appearance on his return from America. Reeve is delighted with his character, which he has accepted, telling his manager at the same time, " Fred, you have hit the nail on the head." Young Charles Mathew s and Mr. Meadows, his as sociate in the provincial theatrical speculation, have hitherto been extremely successful. In sonic of the theatres the ma nagers were anxious to renew their engagements, but young Mathews being obliged to be in London at the opening of the Olympic the)' could not in any instance extend the period originally appropriated to the various theatres at the com mencement of their trip. Planehe, the dramatic writer, is preparing an opera for the opening of the Olympic Theatre, in the charac ters of which, we understand, he has successfully estimated the various, and in some instances peculiar, talents of Madame Vestris's company. Last year Mr. Punn had the exclusive advantage of Mr. Planche's dramas ; their contract, however, expired at the end of the season. HIGH VVA•I'ER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW.

The organs of the Tory Press can't get over the Cumberland election. They are labouring hard, but it won't do ; and instead of making the matter better for their cause, they make it ten times worse by their blundering attempts to palliate the calamity—for such, it is evident, they consider it—which has befallen their party in the north. A Morning Scribe who, if he would leave off the silly practice of calling names, is about the best of the band, endeavours to parry the blow by ascribing Mr. JA NEES'S return to there being no opposition. It is true no opponent appeared in the field, and therefore the Tories escaped in some degree the dis grace that would have followed a public exposure of their weakness, had they had pluck enough to come to the scratch; but will this self-satisfied gentleman db us the favour to explain why there was no opponent to Mr. JA ? We want to know the reason. Are the Tories indifferent to the success of their principles ? Have they given up the contest with the new order of things as hopeless ? This we admit would be their wisdom ; but we cannot indulge the hope that they have adopted this course. Every thing in their late conduct, unhappily, tends to a contrary conclusion. We have, therefore, only the alter native of believing that conscious weakness prevented all opposition to the liberal candidate. How this state of things is to be reconciled with the general re action, which has afforded so copious a theme for Tory declamation for months, indeed for gears past—for the Reform Bill was hardly out of the Printer's hands before the cry was set up—we pretend not to divine. No doubt our Contemporary can explain it, and we trust he will, without—for once—having recourse to casuistry, give a plain answer to a plain question. Let him come to the point. We ask him again, taw was there no opposition to Mr. JAMES in East Cumberland ? The Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, alluding to the vigorous, impartial, and strait-forward policy pursued by Lord MULGRAVE i❑ Ireland, says, " I am perfectly satisfied that a false notion of political consistency stands alone in the way of a grateful recog nition of his Excellency's system of Government, by a large portion of those who are set down in the ranks of the enemy. lam quite sure that the continuance of the present Government in office, and the consequent continuance of the existing Irish policy under the direction of its present head, will work, in the course of a single year, a moral revolution in the feelings and dispositions of the gentry, as it has already done in those of the people at large." This is high praise, and proceeding, as it manifestly does, from one com petent to form a correct judgment, is entitled to every attention. Our own accounts from Ireland give the same flattering reports of the success that has hitherto attended Lord MULGRAVE'S policy—a success of which his Lordship may well be proud, for it has been the result of his own good sense and unswerving integrity of purpose. He has not listened to the inte rested advice of faction, nor permitted himself to be terrified by its bluster ; but thought for himself and acted for himself. Up to his time, our Irish viceroys were, in nine cases out of ten, mere instruments in the hands of party ; they had no freedom of will, scarcely even of thought, allowed them ; but were nothing more than blind, passive registers of the decrees of their Orange subordinates. Such was Lord TALBOT—such was the Marquis of WELLESLEY—such to a certain ex tent was the Marquis of A NGLESEA—aud such, to a far greater extent, was the Earl of HADDINGTON. But now, all this is changed, and from the Government of Lord MULGRAVE, conducted in a just spirit, and on strictly constitutional principles, Ireland has every possible reason to look forward to the most triumphant results. Nor is Mr. O'CONNELL to be denied his meed of praise as respects his Lordship's Viceroyalty. He had it in his power—had he so willed it—to thwart him at every step of his progress, and render him as unpopular as he is now popular ; but he has wisely chosen instead—seeing that his Excellency is really sincere in his desire to promote the interests of the sister country—to afford him every assistance, and sink the triumphant demagogue in the less flashy, but more creditable character, of the sober patriot. The Paris papers of Sunday contain nothing new respecting the formation of a Cabinet. Everything seemed to depend upip Marshal Sour, T, whose ar rival in Paris was holly expected. The King of NAPLES sailed from Toulon for the capital of his dominions on the 30th ult. King OTno of Greece has sought and obtained the hand of a Princess of the House of Oldenburgh. The notification of the marriage to the European Govern ments will shortly take place. The future Queen of GREECE is related by ties of affinity and consangui nity to the Emperor of RUSSIA. We have not heard what marriage portion—a very needful affair—this Princess is to bestow upon her Royal husband. _ . . Duke WILLIAM of Brunswick is likewise about to contract a marriage with the Princess MARIA, daugh ter to the reigning King of WIRTEMBURG by his first wife. As this Princess is niece to the Emperor of RUSSIA, her marriage with the Duke of BRUNS WICK will tend to strengthen the CZAR'S influence in Germany. It was reported that Louis PHILIPPE had intended to propose for the hand of the Princess of WURTEMBURG his son the Duke of NEMOURS; but that he declined, lest the proposal might alarm the people of France, who are naturally averse to such alliances with any branch of the Imperial family of ROMANZOFF. The mother of the Princess MARIA of Wurtemburg was the Czar NICHOLAS'S sister. The Princess is highly accomplished, very amiable, and, as report runs, very beautiful. The Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA will assist at the Coronation of the Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA. The Sovereigns of Russia and Prussia will assume the titles of Counts on this occasion. The Journal des Debals accuses the Spanish Constitutionalists of ingratitude towards the Duke of WELLINGTON ; and the La Mode with causing the death of M. RAYNEVAL. Both charges are of a very serious nature. The La Mode, however, leaves it to be inferred that the guilt of the Constitutionalists, in the case of the French Ambassador, was purely accidental. In the discharge of what they conceived to be a duty to their country, they become unintenti onally accessory to the death of a dying man. May not his Grace of WELLINGTON have been as uncon sciously injured, on the part of the Spanish Constitu tionalists, as his Excellency the Count de RAYNE VAL The Nouvelle Minerve announces the publication of a proclamation of DON CARLOS to his army, in which the Pretender assures his deluded fol lowers that he is going to Paris on business of importance, previous to his putting an end to the civil war in Spain. What business can Don CAR LOS have to Paris ? Perhaps he proposes to re-enact the Bayonne performance of 1805 ? Spain must re member but too well the figure he cut when resigning for ever all claim, for himself and heirs, to the throne of Spain. But we may be mistaken. Very likely Louis PHILIPPE will play the principle, part in the new farce. Like the Patriarelis of old his Most Christian MAJESTY is blessed with more sons and daughters than he knows well how to dis pose of. The grand-children of PIIILIPPE EGA LITE are a drug in the matrimonial market. This is not to be wondered at under any conceivable circum stances. The Itoyal father so resembles the citizen grandfather, that there is nothing at all surprising in 'the caution with which reputable parents shun al liances with the hopeful progeny. Don CARLOS has children. But what of that ?—Of course nothing. PARIS, SEPT. 4.—A letter from Port Venders of the 26th of August, announces that the Styx steamer, on board which Marshal Clausel has just embarked, was to go first to Barce lona, where the Marshal will stop some days before he pro ceeds to Algiers. There is at this moment a sort of armistice on the frontiers of Spain, and the Bayonne journals say no more of the two armies than if they had no existence. The Phare of the Ist of September, says, the decision of the English Government respecting the deserters from the British Legion, whom the Carlists, in order to get rid of them, sent into the French territory, has at length reached Bayonne. Lord Palmerston refuses to trouble himself about the fate of these individuals, so that he leaves to the French Government the expense requisite for conveying them to Eng land, as well as what has already been incurred for their sub sistence. This decision, which we were far from expecting, may offend the national pride, which will doubtless learn with pain that English subjects have been relieved by the French Government and public charity. In this state of things, and considering the inconceivable indifference of the British Ministry, orders have been given to tend these deserters, immediately and successively, in detach ments of twenty to Calais, and to give each of them a pair of shoes for their journey. The first detachment set out yes terday. The last number of the Gazette of Onate and the Bulletin of Don Carlos contains a proclamation of that Prince, an nouncing that he is going to put a speedy end to the war, but that he is obliged to leave his faithful soldiers for some days, in order to go to Paris, where he will have to treat of affairs of the highest importance.—Nouvelle Minerve. We have received this morning, by the post, the Garde National of Barcelona of the 20th, though those of the 24th and 26th have not arrived. It contains no important news ; it announces a solemn mass on the following day, in honour of the re-establishment of the Constitution. There is not a word about the health of the Prince. We must suppose that from the 23d to the 26th in the evening nothing uncommon had passed at Barcelona—Journal du Commerce, Sept. 4, second. edition. German and Brussels papers have been received.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 3.—His Majesty's packet, Delight, Lieutenant Moore, arrived here to-day from the Bra zils. She left Rio de Janeiro on the 13th July, Bahia 27th, and Pernambuco on the 4th August, with mails, eight pas sengers, and a small amount of specie. The only news to be commented on by this arrival is that the affairs in Rio Grande were soon likely to become more settled by the people of that province more unanimously recognising the authorities of the Brazilian Government. Many of the rebels had laid down their arms, although previously some severe skirmishing had taken place, in which many were killed. The Chambers con tinued their sittings, and their discussions were chiefly confined to the new loan sought for by the Minister of 2,000 contos, the rest of the business engaging their attention was bat of an ordinary character. Rio was very tranquil ; the exchange was 394 391-., and stock at 84. His Majesty's ships Dublin and Cleopatra were cruising. Nine p.m., his Majesty's packet Lyra, Lieut. St. John, has now arrived from St. Thomas's, whence she sailed on the 17th ult., with four passengers. She is without a mail from Jamaica, the steamer not having arrived at St. Thomas's when the Lyra left. The islands at which she touched were generally quiet. TIIE TEA TRADE.—The East India Company's quarterly sale of teas commenced yesterday at the India house, and was very fully attended. The common descrip tions of Boheas were all refused. Congous fetched from Is. 9d. to Is. I I Id. per lb. ; but a considerable quantity of low congous was also refused. Good middling qualities, how. eecr, realized Is. 51d. and Is. 50. per lb. The finer black leaf sort went off at 2s. to 2s. 4d. per lb., which is 2d. per lb. lower than the prices realized at the previous sale. It is ex pected that the sale will conclude on Thursday. The amount of teas cleared during the week is about 405,0001b5. The late rains will have the effect of lengthening the continuance of the autumnal foliage. Nothing forces on a premature fall of the leaf so much as ran uninterrupted career of scorching weather. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, SEPT. s.—Wind S.

With respect to the Edinburgh, we cannot help thinking that there must have been some deplorable neglect to have occasioned the destruc tion of so much property, and the loss of so many lives."

THE JOINT-STOCK NEWSPAPERS.—The Joint stock Company spirit of speculation has operated on the minds of some individuals in the endeavour to form a joint-stock newspaper Company, and this has been attempted in various instances both in town and country. The well-known legal liability of every individual so concerned to the entire amount of the debts which may be incurred in such adventures, how ever small their shares, has had its due effect in neutralising this species of superlative quackery ; few individuals being found so indiscreet as to risk the amount of every shilling they possess in the world on the frail security of schemes, go verned by the probable incompetency or dishonesty of those who concoct them. The exhibition of the frightful conse quences of these fraudulent undertakings at the spring assizes at Taunton, in respect to a Bristol joint-stock newspaper Company, ought to be a lesson and a beacon to the unwary.— Taunton Courier. A public dinner was Given in Elgin on Friday last to Sir A. L. Hay, Member for that district of burghs. In his speech on the occasion the Hon. Gentleman made the fol lowing remarks :—" It was necessary that he should state what had been the result of the last Session of Parliament. Many of those measures brought forward by Government for the improvement of our Institutions were thrown out after they had been ratified by the voice of the country and the House of Commons. What motive had prompted this rejec tion, it was not for him to say ; but in extenuation of the Government and himself, with respect to the charge that more had not been done, he would say that this was rendered impossible by others. A good deal was said of the present state of things and of the position of the Government. He considered that if the Reform Bill placed in the House of Commons a power it never had before the benefit of the country, it was absolutely necessary that their measures should be supported and passed into law.—(Loud cheers.) Far be it from him to say in what manner this should be done—far be it from him to advocate measures which would shake the In stitutions of the country ; but he knew that in the sentiments he had uttered he was supported by the people —not the rab ble, as they had been tauntingly denominated—but the great body of the people, who sooner or later must make their voice be heard, and whose authority must be decisive..—(Great cheering.) He hoped that by a judicious and timely change of opinion in those who now obstruct the public business of the country any further steps would be unnecessary ; at t h e same time, he had no hesitation in saying, that the occur rences of the last Session could not continue. It would come to be determined whether the people will retain those rights now in their own hands, or relinquish them to the Aristo cracy who formerly held them and employed them for their own purposes." On Monday last, an explosion of foul air took place in the river level of the Aberdare Company's Iron Works, by which Watkin David, collier, was killed, and his nephew dreadfully burnt. The son of the deceased wes also severely injured. A fourth, Amos Thomas, escaped unhurt.— Me rionethshif e Merlin. TIIE EUPIIRATES EXPEDITION.—A letter from M. Fontanier, dated June 2, at Bussora, announces that the English expedition upon the Euphrates, under Col. Chesney, was expected there towards the end of that month. During the review yesterday at Windsor an accident harpened to a private of the 7th Huzzars, whose horse stumbled and fell on him. The poor fellow was much bruised, and it is stated that his arm is broken near the shoul der. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, on the accident occurring, rode out to inquire its nature, and afterwards, when a fly came to convey the man to the barracks, (which was just as the re view ended) his Lordship went again to see him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William M'Evoy, an athletic Irish pavior, was charged by Mr. Newman, proprietor of the George and Dragon public house, with grossly insulting his wife, and threatening to make smithereens of complainant's brains with an empty quart pot. Police Constable C 90 was called upon by the last witnes to take the defendant into custody, when he struck him several violent blows. Defendant—Oh tare an ounty, your Worship, don't let them sware away my life entirely. Magistrate—Why did you assault the police constable Defendant—ls it meself? I'd like to see the man that 'a strike him and me by. Magistrate—You must pay a fine of 31., or be sent to gaol for two months. Defendant—Well, your Honour, all I can say is the neither law nor justice, for the two or three blows I gev him was all out of pure love. BOW-STREET. Joseph Peyton, a respectable looking young man, was charged before Mr. MALLARD a county Magistrate, with steal ing two valuable pictures the property of Joseph Peel of 194, Strand. The prosecutor said he rented part of a house from the pri soner's father; the house was in one, but was divided into two shops below. The pictures which formed the subject of the present inquiry were safe in his possession—in a room up stairs in July—he missed them on the 3d September. F or one of them, a sea-piece, he was offered 601, the other Was not so valuable. From information he had received he sus pected the prisoner, and gave information to the officer. Shackell, the officer, said, from information he received from the prosecutor, he went to thelodgings of Edward Sherrill, and asked for the pictures. He said, "Do you come from Joseph Peyton?" He returned no answer; but on being told that he was an officer, he went to a bedstead, and took them out. He (Shackell) then took him into custody. E. Sherrin was then admitted as a witness, and deposed that he had known the prisoner for seven months. Last month he called at his lodgings, in White Hart-yard-court, Union street, Leicester-square, and brought the marine picture, which he requested witness would take care of for him. 01 '2 1 subsequent occasion he brought the frame ; and last we e '' when witness was out, on one occasion, he found the other picture had been left during his absence. The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done, whic h was in a fit of passion. The MAGISTRATE said he had better say no more, as he must commit him for trial.—Committed. UNION-HALL. A rather respectable young man was brou g ht before Mr, TRAILL, charged by one of the police force with obstructing his Majesty's highway in the neighbourhood of Bermondsey' by having brought himself to an anchor there dead drunk. The policeman stated that on discovering him laying in Jamaica-row dead drunk, he took him to the station-hou se ' where, on searching, he found four sovereigns and some sil ver in his pocket. Mr. TRAILL—WeII, Sir, how came you to get into tbi c g state ? The young man—l really don't know, Sir ; ha d seven guineas and a watch about me when I went out in th e morning, and it is all gone with the exception of the money found upon me. The wife of the defendant—lt cannot have been a fetua l l that has robbed him, because if it had been, all his moneYt have no doubt, would have gone.—(A laugh.) Mr. TRAILL—I am sorry you have so bad an opinion your own sex, but let me advise you in future to rob him You self, in order that others may not do it when he gets into th at state again. Defendant—l never was in such a state before, and i' ll never get so again. Wife—No, I'll take care of that, you may depend upon' it " I'll adopt the Magistrate's advice, and rob you in future Vl' self.—( A laugh.) They then both left the office, apparently perfectly saeis 6ea with each other. TOWN-HALL. James Harsant, a radical carpenter, was brought up 1 )°f ere Sir J. KEY, charged with being drunk on Saturday 1 3 ig" and assaulting two Policemen. Thomas Banting, a policeman, stated that on Sat tut/ night, about 11 o'clock, he saw the prisoner drunk in .1 0 r; street, Suffolk-street, in company with a fem a l e . On t Pl` f t up to him to desire him to go on, he stru c k hi m; and lie s another policeman coming up, he attacked him in the o°s violent manner, and tore his clothes nearly off his back. , 0 Sir JOHN KEY—Well, prisoner, what ha v e you to !AV this violent attack upon these policemen? The prisoner—Please your Worship, I'll tell you tha tNt and the whole truth. On Saturday night I and my wife (. 1111 1 1 please your Worship, there's•not a carpenter in the boroug has a kinder or better wife than I have) went out to pro cur e a few domestic necessaries.—( Laughter. ) After web/430j so, I says to my dear wife, " My dear," says creas e , laughter),—" I don't think as how we wants an .y thi s % else.

Sir JOHN KEY—Well, I think so too ; that was, sumptuous fare. The prisoner —Yes, your Worship ; but I thought I should also like a little bit of butcher meat.—(Laughter.) Sir J.
